Yeah, I feel a bit robbed, to be honest. But then the 3DS is still lacking a truly must-buy title. Zelda's great, assuming you've never played it before. DOA comes close but the laggy online lets it down. The other games are almost all decent enough, but not worth buying the system for.
As for the free games, I couldn't possibly give any less of a fuck. It's a nice gesture but meaningless to me as I can quite easily play any of those games on my PSP. If Nintendo truly want my attention, they should do the following:
- Stop being retarded. They remake the Starfox multiplayer, make it look truly fantastic....then don't include online play. Starting to suspect their headquarters have been hit by some wierd space ray that replaced all their brains with shitty nappies.
- Keep their promises. Am I the only one that remembers they were meant to offer SNES classics in the E-Store? Distinct lack of Starwing, Mario All Stars, Zombies Ate My Neighbours, Jelly Boy, Super Metroid, F-Zero, so much greatness that would take them mere minutes to convert and upload. Seriously, all they need is to program a SNES emulator for the 3DS then charge us for the ROMs. Piece of piss to create, makes them a fortune, makes them look good. And yet they don't go for it. See aforementioned space ray.
- Stop remaking the same games over and over again. Yeah, OK. We get it. Ocarina of Time was a great game. Care to make a NEW game once in a while? Christ, if you're out of ideas then you can borrow some of mine if you like. I got bored and wrote a plot for a Starfox Wii game years ago. You're welcome to it if you pull your fingers from your rectal cavities.
- Make the E-store games a bit cheaper. No offence but NO downloadable title is worth the money they're charging for Shantae. Right now I can actually get Street Fighter cheaper than Shantae. That should NEVER happen.
I agree 100% to ALL of that.
I feel violated... ¬_¬
And I have a strong urge to keep far away from the 'Pii-U'
I agree with a BIT of this, however Shantae is actually bigger than the first game- the first game was £30+ when it was released- Street Fighter deserves to be cheap as there is nothing to do on it other than online matches and they are largely ruined by the spamcontrol system.
Agree totally with the DOA lag, but the game itself is better than Street Fighter.
I never saw any mention of SNES games in the E-Shop? In fact it was pretty clear to most that they would focus on Handheld games for the time being so they could keep the Wii VC alive.
They remake old games at the beginning of a console to keep it going while they encourage games out of developers- see Super Mario 64 DS for details. Sometimes they remake NEW games (Twilight Princess) instead, but for almost all Nintendo consoles ever the first 6-18 months is pretty bare in the games department (The N64 was particularly slow, but as with the SNES they offered a new mario game pretty quickly to distract us from it- oh look, here comes Super Mario 3DS....)
Agree with the Starfox multiplayer debacle, and the E-Shop is pricey- however, I still suffer from'Post piracy blowout guilt' and have vowed to give Nintendo some money this console, if they don't want me to I shan't complain!
